Overview

• A resource in a context cannot be deleted if the user is in a different context at the time.
• One default context can be configured for a user if the user has privileges for more than one 
context. 
For simplicity of the configuration, the super user can choose to create some role templates and 
associate the template with a set of privileges (available privileges are the same as the user level 
configurations). A user can then be associated with one of the templates, in which case, the user is 
granted privileges in the template. Then user level privileges can be configured to overwrite the 
privileges in the template:
• If no privilege is granted for an administrative domain at both the template and user levels, the 
user has no privileges for the domain.
• If a privilege is granted both at the template and user levels, user level privilege takes 
precedence.
• If a privilege is granted only in at the template, the user inherits the privilege from the template. 
• If a privilege is granted only at the user level, the user has the configured privileges.
Similarly, a default context can be associated with a template. If default context is configured at 
both template and user level, the user level configuration takes precedence. If a user is not 
associated with any templates or roles, he has no privileges. The super user can also create a 
default template with a set of privileges, which is assigned to anyone who does not have templates 
or privileges assigned.
